For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
For every strength there is an equal and opposite weakness.
But,
The reverse is also true;
For every reaction there is an equal and opposite action.
And, for every weakness there is an equal and opposite strength.
I think there is a sense of meditation for the social self...Day dreaming :)
But, seriously, have you heard of Sui Nim Tao i.ee. small idea?
Hi Xist. I would be honoured if you would look at this paper I wrote . Don't let the title put you off i.e.

as it may give you some insight in to the 'people and understanding' conundrum sir.
I must applaud in appreciation of the latest piece you have produced as part of your experimentation with pastels...thoroughly grand job sir. Did you get the Cymatic field patterns? What are your initial thoughts my man?
i read it today during my history of psychology class, it was the 1st of the semester and was a basic outline of the methods of thinking.
there were three synchronicities i felt
Fads and fashion - child build preferential experiences before conscious
Emotional attachment, science paradigm dealing with people - autopoietic system i.e. a system with lifelike properties
Determinism - butterfly effect
I'm more an irrational humanist than a material determinist.
I an interested in dimensions though
and im also taking nueroscience so the images are interesting. i didnt quite get the fractal part of it but the geometry did spark a few ideas in me
thank you for sharing it with me
i will need to have a look at the references and ponder it some as most of it was foreign to me, however i just wanted to let you know i did read it.
If you do need any help with your studies in Psychology then I can help, I am a teacher of Psychology (I did a clinical degree at Bachelor level), so please give me a shout if you need any assistance my man. I am a humanist also sir, but have moved in to the Quantum Psychology field. The butterfly effect is more to do with the little amount of energy need to activate the fractal position of the memory/preference. If you imagine a fractal area in phase space like an episodic/semantic/procedural memory, then the energy i.e. blood flow to that area is potentiated by the thought being - geometrically speaking - one thought away from being brought back in to consciousness. So, the butterfly analogy is a metaphor for the idea that blood flow to an area of the brain is given the impetus from the recognition of the potential to re-experience the preference, not so much determined, but, maintained and reinforced by re-experience. I would recommend that you look in to epigenetic control as well, Dr Bruce Lipton (Molecular biologist) is the foremost expert on this and has some really fascinating research on this.
Here is an example of epigenetic control:
If you look at you fingers you will see your fingerprints. How these are caused is through barometric pressure around the womb when you were being gestated.
This is an example of how our genetics interact with the environment and are influenced by it. Hence, the barometric pressure imprints the fingerprint pattern on to your DNA and replicates this over and over again. If you compare your fingerprints to the weather map you will see the similarity.
Neuroscience is the next force in Psychology as it is explaining a great deal more than some of the dogmatic paradigms there are, but, do not discount them, as they have utility in the human jigsaw.
i had to google it
i know some basic wing chun theory via bruce lee books when i was younger but never practiced any real. I'm currently trying to do the yoga headstand
If you can get a small ball to practice with then the videos I am doing will help to develop the skills of Wing Chun very quickly.

Also, if you are looking to accomplish the Yoga headstand, then practice next to wall first until you find your centre of gravity to balance you frame inside the structure that holds it.
